In October 2018 the chile pepper team met face-to-face in Columbus to discuss our progress (and celebrate Dr. Mercer's birthday). It was a busy and productive three days and we look forward to seeing our colaborators, Lev Jardon and Michael Kantar, again soon!

Jack comes to us from New Mexico State University where he received his MS in breeding. He will be working on genetics of drought tolerance in chile peppers, drawing heavily on germplasm from Mexico. Welcome, Jack!
